Family and friends are gathering to remember Quebec Superior Court Judge Fraser Martin, known for presiding over prominent cases such as the first-degree murder trial of former Concordia University professor Valery Fabrikant.

“If he could have, he would have wrapped us all up in bubble wrap and kept us safe from anything that was happening out in the world,” said Anna Mai Norwell, Martin’s widow.

Martin is survived by his wife, Norwell, children Micheline, Derek, Francine and Colette, as well as eight grandchildren.

“He would just read all the time and so, you would come thinking you knew a little bit about something and you would sit down with him and be like, ‘oh, I didn’t know,'” said Alex Angelini, Martin’s grandson.
